The Motorola HS-810 bluetooth was a very popular headset with a slick design and good performance. The HS-850 represents a natural evolution of the HS-810 by offering bluetooth 1.2 and even longer batter life. Today we take the Motorola HS-850 for a test drive with the Motorola RAZR V3 and Treo 650 phones.
This is easily the best Bluetooth enabled headset that Motorola has in its arsenal. It has the perfect combination of long battery life, light on the ear, very good sound and speaker quality. The speaker could be a tad bit louder, and the ear clip, while secure, could be a bit more snug. If you don’t have Motorola phone, make sure you try it before you buy.

Motorola HS-850 Bluetooth Headset
Bluetooth and the Treo650
While finding a good BT headset for a mobile phone can be hit or miss no other BT enabled phone that I've owned is as picky as the Treo. Bottom line with the Treo is if you want BT to work right you pretty much have to purchase a headset which is on their approved/compatible list.
All of it's little quirks not withstanding I still love the Treo 650 I carry. It does what I need it to do, runs the software I need it to run, has the features that I want in a phone and has a functional form factor and size
...anyone wanna buy a Sony Ericsson P900? ;)

Re: Bluetooth and the Treo650
Agreed. To a point. I think there are some BT headsets out there that work very well with Treo's limited capabilities. I hope to get my hands on a Sony Ericsson HBH-660 or a Cardo Scala-500 in the near future. I have heard that these pair up very well with the finicky Treo...hopefully, we can get a review on these models in the near future (hint, hint )ronin4740 wrote:While finding a good BT headset for a mobile phone can be hit or miss no other BT enabled phone that I've owned is as picky as the Treo.
